They were, except they were all either grounded in some sort of real science or they were led up to.

>Shifting
Basically just the evolution of ESPer and the morphogenetic field, which were both elaborated on and alluded to in depth in their respective games.

>Cloning
A real life science application that has already been used in a previous game after having been alluded to with FTS's massive amounts of followers and Alice's kidnapped father.

>Quantum Computing
A real life studies and a theoretical occurrence, and a gradual extension of Shrodinger's Cat.

>Mind Hacking
A bit of a stretch, but Brother was already known to be able to read minds and touch the minds of others, since he was so in tune with the morphogenetic field

>Alien Time Fax Machine
No alluding to it, no foreshadowing, and the official explanation is literally "aliens lol".

Everything else, even Mind hacking, felt at least a little grounded in the game's reality. The Alien fax machine just comes across as a deus ex machina.

Hit-and-miss.
I enjoyed most of them, but there's also the lowest amount of puzzle rooms in the series. 13 compared to 999/VLR's 16
There's also not a single puzzle room on the True End timeline.
>>
>>345400097
They're okay, not as good as VLR but better than 999's. Not enough of them though, and the game sorely lacks a final puzzle room. There's a lot more mini-game stuff which seems to be divisive.

Not really.

They're all really easy. The transporter room one, supposedly the hardest one in the game, is the only one that requires non-linear thinking, and even then it's still pretty easy.

Honestly, the hardest part in the puzzle rooms is occasionally having to play "find the pixel", which gets REALLY bad on the 3ds version and kinda bad on every other version.

The puzzles were easy-Professor-Layton grade. Figuring out what to click on in rooms was the harder part

Daily reminder that people only like 999 because they had to replay it 5 or more times to get the trtue ending.

>>
>>345396679
I'd think it would be funny if Sigma and Akane forgot about them like they forgot about Kyle. Just All Ice for an eternity.
>>
>>345400390

From the Wiki (which is paraphrasing Dio's and Akane's explanation of Brother in VLR)

"Brother has a mysterious special power, described as being able to "touch the thoughts of other people and see into them".

Unfortunately, it left him constantly exposed to the negative and corrupt side of humanity and all of humanity's worst aspects. This fueled Brother's misanthropy and disgust of humanity.

Brother realized humanity was being severely brainwashed and these contagious toxic thoughts were poisoning the morphogenetic field, like a cancerous consciousness. He realized this led to all kinds of negative emotions (impure thoughts lead to impure manifestations in reality, and impure manifestations in reality lead to impure thoughts, like a vicious cycle). He also realized this brainwashing dated back a long, long time - more than hundreds and thousands of years - since time immemorial. This explained the poor current state of humanity in his lifetime - all of the genocide and wars.

Of course, Brother could also read the hearts and minds of children and saw their purity and innocence in comparison to adults. Unfortunately, Brother saw the same toxic poisoning of children's consciousnesses as they grew into partially corrupt teens and then into corrupt adults."

Basically, in VLR Brother was being set up to be a well-intentioned extremist who wanted to save the Morphogenetic field via whatever means necessary. In ZTD, he got Zig-Zagged into "always the good guy", and the poisoning of the morphogenetic field was brushed aside and never mentioned.

Not sure what exactly your first question is asking, but Sean never gets referred to as Q.

Delta is participating with Q team, but bad writing makes it difficult to figure that out. There is actually a tonne of hints that there is a 4th participant in Q team, but there is just way too many contradictions.

Bad writing, who the fuck knows. Delta makes he participate, kills her in one timeline, and lets her go free in the ending.
>>
>>345400727
Like the files say, Sean is never actually called Q by any of the characters. The player is just being tricked by stuff like the artbook calling him Q.
Delta is mentioned by the characters, but he's never onscreen because you, the player, are seeing through his eyes.

They never called him Q, they knew he was Sean from the start (well, at some point between the coin flip and the voting). Delta was in Q team and everyone knew him as Q the deaf old man in the weelchair.
>Why doesn't anyone care that Mira is a confirmed serial killer? Why doesn't Eric care that Mira killed his mom?
Her tits were too great.
>>
>>345401105

Because it was a misleading Narrative.

No one called the kid Q ever. Anytime they said anything about Q they were talking about the Blind/Deaf man in the wheelchair that was ALWAYS JUST OUT OF THE CAMERA'S REACH.

Yes, it's a completely bullshit twist. Even worse, there was no reason for him to be there, since his mindhacking works from a distance, and there was no interaction he had with the teams since he was fucking blind and deaf.

No, there's no real way to defend this. Uchi probably stroked out.

You're seeing it through his eyes, which see it through his glasses, which see it through the computer, which see the world from a third person perspective. That just makes it all the more retarded that Delta doesn't appear in front of the camera.
>>
The stupidest thing about the Delta always being Q is that delta had no reason to call himself Q in the game. The name Delta is just as valid to be used, but he changed it to Q so that it'd fit the twist. It's literally only so the amnesiac gets a one letter name (at least from the players point of view). Like, even if we just assumed Sean was called Delta, nothing would change and it would keep the twist the same in for the player, actually making it more mindscrewy. But it's because they wanted to think the amnesiac didn't know his name that they Delta is called Q

Eric was super suspicious of Sean specifically because he shouldn't be there, his name wasn't connected to the x-passes. I think they accepted him as a stand-in for Q who they thought was too handicapped to properly participate.

Like this? As in space-time science fictiony? Not realllly.

About the closest I can think of that's good is Ghost Trick, and it's a pretty far departure from the Zero Escape series.

If you're looking for better VN's, try:
Ghost Trick
Hotel Dusk
Last Window: The Secret of Cape West
Steins; Gate

Danganrompa is mentioned a lot, but it's pretty hit and miss too. It knows it's silly and it runs with it, so if you're down for a not too serious game then it's ok.

Let's not pretend suspecting Sean even makes sense.
>>
>>345401627

There's actually no reason for Delta to even be a participant in the game.

It doesn't help him at all. It doesn't further his plans. He doesn't interact with anyone or do anything in a way that he couldn't have done via observing instead and just occasionally coming out of the woodworks to laugh in their faces.

But then, the other twist (that all the wards are the same and everyone's awake at the different times) is the same thing. So everyone's been in the same areas the whole time. So what? The ONLY difference it made is that C-Team gets a slightly unfair advantage when it comes to pressing the Yellow button. And that's it. That's the only thing that it changes, and that doesn't even ultimately matter.

I think that either Phi or Sigma jumped from the execution timeline, but couldn't remember that, either because of shifting memory loss ala VLR, or the drugs erasing that.

It was that or the reverse, but I'm not turning on the game again, let alone to find that out.

The machine did it for you anyways. The horizontal one was Base 13 (or 10), and when you cranked the lever the vertical one would display the base 10 (or 13) conversion.

But yeah, that part was easy. The complete lack of any indication that you A. Got the right answer and B. HAD TO CLICK ON THE FUCKING NUCLEUS was bullshit.

...What are we even supposed to get from this? I know that Carlos is called a snail by Zero and Akane brings up the leucochloridium to explain his behavior when he makes an uncharacteristic decision, but I know that this is meaningless.

Is it just some sort of retarded parallel to how Zero mindhacked everyone to make horrible decisions?

It kind of does if you don't know the details behind who he is. His identity being obscured alone is suspicious enough, there's no guarantee he's telling the truth about his amnesia and remembering the amount of specific things he recites makes that claim seem dubious. His name isn't on the x-pass board and he wasn't part of the Mars experiment so the only person who could have put him there is the mastermind, meaning he probably serves some goal of the mastermind or is the mastermind himself. Yes, it is a little doubtful a child could be a threat but the amount of unknown surrounding his character overshadows that a bit.

Right, the epilogue brought up two Clovers and two Alices existing at the same time from going back being a paradox that had to be resolved through "Schrodinger's cat" somehow. Zero Time Dilemma completely ignores the idea of that being a problem and goes nuts with Sigma and Diana running into their dead selves and the two Carloses.

Why didn't Delta make copies of himself? He had the fax machine long enough to make 23 copies of himself, surely they would have been helpful to have around. And that's not even counting if he sent himself into the past to acquire the machine even earlier, and kept doing so all the way until the German acquisition of the machine. He could have had like 200 Deltas

Mindhacking is the same as a parasite controlling the brain.

A parasite caused a snail to be in the pathway, which led to the death of six billion/death of mankind.

Mindhacking caused it to be saved.

The sleeping beauty one was just a metaphor for the whole game. It's supposed to click when Sean says "What if they asked them a thousand times?"

The thousand times is the whole game resulting from guessing the coin face wrong while guessing right just ended it

>>345404252
The idea behind sleeping beauty is that basically, if there are three options

Monday Heads
Monday Tails
Tuesday Tails

Is there a two in three chance that the coin was tails?

There might have been some level of thematic relevance to Sleeping Beauty, but Uchi probably just thought a monty hall game would be cool.

Some people just really hate how seemingly dumb he comes off at that part and mistakenly think that Delta hasn't been tracking the 2nd/"10 Months" Carlos.
So, they blame him for the entire problem. It helps a lot that Junpei and Akane do the same to an extent.

The reality is that there's probably a timeline does exist where he did try to stop Zero.
